Enhancing MLTC management for HIV populations through Implementation research, evidence-based interventions, and integration of NCD care in LMIC contexts with a focus on Viability and Equity
The HIVE project aims to improve integrated healthcare for people living with HIV who also manage noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as other long-term health conditions. The project combines digital health technologies, interpersonal counselling and coordinated healthcare services to support patients in managing multiple conditions and improving their overall well-being.
At the centre of HIVE is a mobile health (mHealth) application designed to support patients in managing their health and accessing appropriate care. The application will be adapted and evaluated in Greece, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Malta, taking into account different healthcare systems and patient needs. Through these activities, HIVE seeks to improve access to healthcare, strengthen the integration of NCD care into HIV clinics and reduce health inequalities across different populations.
MetaMind Innovations (MINDS) contributes to the HIVE project by supporting the development of secure and privacy-conscious digital health solutions. As leader of Task 3.4 – Security and Privacy Compliance under WP3, MINDS coordinates activities to ensure that the HIVE mobile application is designed to protect sensitive patient information and meet relevant data protection requirements, including GDPR.
Its work covers secure authentication, access controls and encryption to protect data during storage and transmission. MINDS also supports data anonymisation for research purposes, security testing, user consent mechanisms and privacy audits. In addition, the company participates in other WP3 activities related to the adaptation of HIVE’s interventions. Through these contributions, MINDS helps strengthen the security, reliability and data protection features of the HIVE application, supporting its use across different healthcare settings.
